Extreme Open Thread!

By Corey
Here you go!

This might not be as bad as we think for a few reasons:

-- The Shield should have some titles and maybe Dean Ambrose can elevate the U.S. title to something of some importance.

-- Del Rio and Swagger, for as much as I hate the angle, have decent chemistry and their I Quit match could be a good one.

-- Brock might beat Triple H to a bloody pulp. Maybe not.

Or this could suck.

But I have a feeling it's going to be a worthy PPV. Would I buy it? Of course not but that's why I live close to a sports bar.

Extreme Open Thread rules for one night only. Don't keep it clean. I want dirty. I want angry.

    Even though it's Extreme Open Thread, I'm still going to beat someone by having the Fuj's music distract them so I can roll them up from behind.

    I've watched about 20 minutes of RAW in the past month, so I'm tuning in hoping to see some good wrestling, hopefully. Not expecting much from HHH-Brock at this point though...

    Extreme Rules is usually quite entertaining even if the product is at an all time low right now creatively, but I'll give it a shot...on a stream somewhere.

    Wait hold on a second, what is the card here?

    Did I just read I Quit match between Del-Rio and Swagger? Did I miss something involving Dolph the actual Champion? I thought it was a three-way ladder match, ya?

    PS, I'm aware I could google, but nahhhhhh.

    PPS - I can't remember who mentioned it last, but I tried out the Stone Cold Podcast, andddd I think it's a more entertaining entity then anything the WWE has put out in the past month.

    PPPS - Wrestlemania was only a month ago? Seems like years.

    Oh man, is anyone watching the pre-show with Mick Foley, Wade Barrett, and Titus O'Neil? Titus sounds lost trying to break down the Cena/Ryback match.

    Also, that's a great use of paid talent than having them...you know...wrestle.

    While I would prefer Wade Barrett and Titus O'Neil having matches on the pay per view, these pre-show set-ups are pretty nifty to prep the shows for people (like me) who stopped watching their weekly programming. Somehow these pre-shows convey more of an athletic-style presentation and really squash the campy, cartoonish aspect that really ruin the product sometimes.

    It isn't the main event, so they have a better chance of getting away with it. Plus, it prevents Ryback from jobbing for the 37th PPV in a row.

    RAW and Smackdown are atrocity's these days, no reason to watch them when a recap here can serve just the purpose.

    It's more economical when five or six people are gathering together to share the cost, especially when PPV night becomes an excuse to start doing marathon gaming sessions on the 360 afterwards until 5 in the morning. Sometimes, you have to pretend you're back in college once in awhile.

    They should do a backstage promo with Cesaro walking by Ambrose with the belt saying "oh...sorry bud..."

    They better not job out Ambrose now. He has to be the guy to stop the midcard belt losing streak.

    This video package is strange. Sheamus is clearly the heel in almost every situation. Guess that's what happens when you ban bookers and only hire soap opera washouts.

    seriously speaking I thought it was cool they made it a task to beat kofi, it would be too easy to have him come out there and squash him, this way it kinda tells you individually they are still rookies but together they are the unstoppable machine that can take out all the main eventers. That being said...it's nice to have a reason to care about the US title now.

    Did Hogan do it twice? Because I could easily believe that one.


    Answer: No... Hogan-Vader ended with Hogan dragging Flair to the buckles... no pin involved.
